New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and his team are at it again with a self-deprecating video mocking his possible presidential ambitions and his fleece jacket.

If you watched the Republican governor on TV after the deadly storm, you've seen the now-famous jacket: It's blue and emblazoned with the words "Chris Christie Governor." The article of clothing silently screams "leader" or maybe "president" when Christie wears it -- at least that's the schtick in the 7-minute video.

Without his beloved jacket, Christie loses his mojo. Those poll numbers that skyrocketed after the storm? They drop. His pal Bruce Springsteen? Blocks him from going backstage at a concert. The love from MSNBC's Morning Joe hosts? Gone.

Spoiler alert: The Carville-Clinton tidbit at about the 5:50 mark would earn the Democratic strategist some kind of Best Supporting Actor award if such a thing existed.

Christie debuted the video Tuesday night at New Jersey's annual Legislative Correspondents Club show -- the Garden State's equivalent of Washington's White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Tuesday was a busy one for the gov: News that Christie secretly underwent weight-loss surgery was quite the talker.
